Re: Sasquatch! Festival 2014

GOOD MORNING!

A limited number of discounted 3-day festival passes for the 2014 festival - May 23-25 (Memorial Day) and July 4-6 (Fourth of July) - will be available starting THIS Friday, November 29th at 9:00 A.M. (PST) via sasquatchfestival.com and will remain available through 11:45 P.M. on December 31st (or while supplies last). Discounted passes are available if purchasing both weekends.

The completely separate lineups for the two weekends will be announced in full in February. 2014 is just around the corner!

Ouch. They are really going to try and make people blind buy two festivals, not just one by having a discount.

Re: Sasquatch! Festival 2014

How is that different than blind buying any other festival? I blind buy Coachella every year without knowing a lineup. I imagine plenty of people go to Sasquatch every single year no matter what the lineup is too so this will save those people some money.

Double the $$ commitment and both weekends are major holidays which means some have to decline competing events.

Filling 2 entire festival lineup with a world class lineup in this part of the world on those weekends is an ambitious task.

Re: Sasquatch! Festival 2014

What does the Gorge hold 25,000 people? I can see this selling out easy over 2 holiday weekends drawing fans from Seattle, Portland and Canada. I'm sure they've done their research. It doesn't seem far fetched to me. They've been at this for a decade.

Because you have to blind buy BOTH festivals, to get the discount. At least with Coachella, you know what you are getting. Know one knows anything about the July festival. Or how the May festival is going to look like along with the July Festival.

Edit: But you are right, both will most likely sell out either way, since it is on a holiday weekends for both of them. The Gorge in July is going to be HOT though!

Cold War Kids and others are playing the Sasquatch release party on Feb 3rd at the Neptune...

Re: Sasquatch! Festival 2014

Pavement played at Primavera on a Thursday and flew back to play Sasquatch that weekend. Needless to say people at Sasquatch said they sounded like ass. Postal Service did it last year too. The advantage Sasquatch has is that they have the Monday to get those bands to fly back.

Re: Sasquatch! Festival 2014

It was easier when Sasquatch was 4 days. Primavera was something like Thursday - Saturday and Sasquatch was Friday - Monday.

With Boston Calling the 3 days are a direct overlap, so I'm not expecting a lot of bands to play both. Who knows though, I just hope Jack Johnson stays far away from Sasquatch, which looks very likely.

On the other hand Primavera doesn't happen on the same weekend as Sasquatch this year so crossover is probably a little more likely.

Consider Nick Cave as a headliner for Julyquatch.

Re: Sasquatch! Festival 2014

Sasquatch got rid of the Monday.. One of the main reasons I went last year was 4 days of music. I will probably never go back to Sasquatch now that its only 3 days. It is a fun festival but so fucking disorganized.
